Chokers have been all the rage lately and though hesitant, once I bought them I was hooked. This particular one attracted me because of the star detail, which I knew could be layered with another star necklace. Though chokers make a statement on their own and by no means do they need other pieces to look cool, I still like the layered style. It's playful and has a slight bohemian vibe styled like this, don't you think?
Because chokers are so 90s, I opted for a cool toned brownie nude lip and make-up look. For the rest of the look I played around with this dress styling it with ankle boots and a hat creating a bohemian inspired outfit. Do you remember this dress from my Floral look in Lecco post?
Sadly, we have entered the last month of summer. How are you all feeling about it? Personally, I wish summer would stick around a bit longer.
Have a pink-tastic day!

Sicily has been wonderful, enchanting me with its turquoise crystal clear water and satisfying my hunger with its fresh fish and pastries. I'll miss the rays of sun caressing my skin and the fresh sea salt taste in the air.
My goodbye look is simple and appropriate for the hot weather, nothing groundbreaking, just off shoulder top with shorts. Similar to my last outfit, I took these pictures before sunset, which meant enjoying the golden light.
Do you have any plans for the rest of summer?

We have finally come to the moment where I'm sharing my favourite look from this Sicilian vacation, well you know except this one. It's possible you'll remember this dress from my birthday wish list post. My sister kindly gifted it to me and I absolutely love it. It's fun, easy and flowing, but most importantly off shoulder, so of course it had to come on holidays with me. What I also love about it, is that it's comfy but stylish.
We shot the pictures are sunset, which gave this soft light and romantic vibe. What do you think about the look?

Welcome to a new video my loves!
Today I'm sharing what I eat in a day. This will be different from my usual "diet", because I filmed it in Sicily. To make it more fun, I filmed this on the day we went on a fishermen's boat trip. If you don't like fish this may not seem as appetising, but for those of you who love fish know that it was very tasty!
Do you love seafood?

Hope you are all starting this week relaxed and happy! For today's post I'm sharing another holiday outfit, wearing this pastel blue off shoulder blouse. Not only is this blouse off shoulder, but it also has bell sleeves. How cute is that?! If you remember I shared another look featuring this one a while back, wearing it as a normal bell sleeved blouse.
This time I paired it with lace shorts and this yellow colour-blocking clutch, to add a fun pop of colour! As you already noticed, most of my vacation wardrobe was off shoulder, fun, flirty and most importantly, comfy. I knew there would be 35 C degrees, so I wanted flowing and breeze pieces.
What do you like to pack for a seaside holiday?

This is one of my favourite looks I wore on holiday, I have two, in case you were wondering, and the second one will be on the blog next week. The combination of skin tight with flowing pieces make this romper very flattering and entertaining to wear, not to mention the stripes which make it very appropriate for summer and the sea side. Though honestly I wear stripes all year round and not just at the sea or lake.
This will sound very silly, but the whole time I was wearing this outfit, I felt very model like with my fabulous romper. Don't know why, but it was just giving me good vibes. It could also be the sugar high from too many pastries and too much gelato or the fact that I was at the sea, but either way I loved wearing it.

Lace has become a theme this vacation, because of the romantic and feminine aspect it gives to an outfit, not to mention it adds texture. It makes a look more interesting and fun, without any effort. What I adore about this crop top is the mix of texture and cut. As you can see, it has different patterns and lengths of lace. Since it was super hot outside, I added some shorts, a pair of sunglasses and my loafers. Loafers aren't ideal for this weather, but they went well with the look, so I endured the heat.
The colour of the pictures hasn't been altered at all, the water did look that spectacular. Even though it was hot as hell and I felt like melting while taking the pictures, I couldn't stop admiring the sea. The turquoise/aqua blue colour was mesmerising.

The second outfit from my vacation lookbook/ posts is an all white one, as it's perfect and very chic for summer.
Before we get into the look, I need to tell you guys that these are the comfiest shoes ever. I bought them last minute not thinking they would be comfortable, but knowing they would match with some outfits for the trip. You have no idea through what hell we had to go through to get to this lovely spot and I did all in high heels without breaking my neck. Afterwards we also walked till and through the town centre, all while being perfectly happy with my outfit decision. This isn't a sponsored post, I just thought it's nice to share the amazingness of these with the world.
I decided to keep this all white playing with different cuts and textures making it more interesting and fun. Of course I opted for an off shoulder blouse, because you know me... it's my current obsession. The lace shorts are feminine and offer a romantic touch, but also have a different texture creating a complementing visual effect.
On my last post a lot of you complimented my "long" legs, so I wanted to tell you a little trick. Sadly I don't have such long legs, I'm only 167cm or 5'4 ( I think), but my boyfriend takes the pictures from a bit lower creating the visual effect of longer legs. This all started because he's taller than me and when he would take pictures standing straight, it would make me look very tiny. Being the good sport that he is, he understood my point and started taking my pictures from lower, though he still needs reminding sometimes. Thank you for your kind comments, I always read them and they make my day!
Do you like all white looks?

The weather has been extra hot, so except sunglasses and bags you won't see me wearing any accessories such as necklaces or bracelets. I feel like they just stick to me and heat up, which isn't cute.
Although I packed make-up, nothing will go on my face on this heat except SPF and lipsticks. When I made my luggage, it made sense to pack a few make-up bits. I really don't know what went through my mind, seeing as there are like a bajillion degrees here and I'm trying not to melt.
Anyway, the piece de resistance in this look is the lace off shoulder blouse, which is feminine, delicate and fun. I matched it with extra high waisted red shorts and my iridescent sandals, which colour doesn't get picked up by the camera, sadly. I did my best to make this an exciting look without accessories and I hope you enjoy it.

This outfit is what happens when you can't decide if you want to be living la dolce vita or be edgy, so you just mix the two and fall in love with the result. Today I just felt like styling this dress in a new way rather that elegantly, while having fun and though it's very simple, I adore it.
Yes, it's summer and I'm wearing all black, but I added a colourful scarf so it's totally appropriate. Neck scarves have made a comeback this season and I can't wait to play around with them a bit more. Also, how cute do these ruffled socks look with the booties?!

Il Ponte di Christo or The Floating Piers was a concept created by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in 1970. In 2014 Christo found the Lake of Iseo perfect for his vision, where he shared the project with the world this summer between 18th of June and the 3rd of July. As always the project wasn't sponsored, it was paid by the artist. Christo and Jeanne-Claude have always refused sponsorships or grants. They created works of arts that inspire beauty and happiness, which they keep free to the public with no visitation fee.
It's truly magnificent what Christo managed to do. While walking on the piers you get the sensation of walking on water, especially when you walk barefoot (with socks). It's quite a unique feeling of the waves, similar to being on a boat but way more intense as you're closer to the water, yet softer because you don't have the weight and structure of a boat.
The view is breathtaking, especially when you find yourself in the middle of the lake, but also looking at it from a higher point on the island. At the beginning it was a bit cooler, which was perfect but as the day progressed it got hot as hell, however it was a marvellous and fun experience.
Have you heard about the project? What do you think?
Happy 4th of July!

Happy 1st of July!
We've now entered the second half of this year and I find it unbelievable how fast time has flown by. I'm very happy for managing to blog everyday until my birthday in June, with a few extension days. It was challenging and unusual for me, but also a lot of fun and I got to share a more diverse content.
Do you have any feedback for me from the month of June? Did you enjoy everyday posts?
Today's outfit is floral, flowing and fun. The 60's inspired neckline cut of this dress is what made me fall in love with it. The sweetheart line is very feminine and flattering. The dress is very comfortable yet chic, which makes it perfect for summer. Today were 34 Celsius degrees, so about 94 Fahrenheit, which is HOT if you ask me. To be honest I love and prefer the hot weather. I spent the first part of the day exploring Lecco and taking outfit pictures.

My birthday weekend has officially begun! Yay! We're leaving for Munich to visit my sister. To be honest I haven't planed anything crazy, just hanging out with her and roaming around Munich.
Since I like to keep it comfy while traveling, I went for this grey dress with a flowing top with bell sleeves. How cute are these sleeves? The top is meant to be worn as an off shoulder, but it kept coming up and it looked cute, so I decided to wear it a bit differently. You know I like my clothing to be multi-functional.
What are your weekend plans?

You know how some people have "Happy places"? Like somewhere they feel peaceful yet joyful, they can put in order their thoughts and just feel at ease. Well, my happy place is by the water. It can be a lake or the sea, I slightly prefer the sea because of its salty smell. Therefor, this has to be one of my favourite shoots so far, location wise.
As for the outfit, to continue with my off the shoulder blouse obsession, I'm sharing the athleisure inspired way of styling it. It incorporates distressed jeans and my comfy Superstars. For the past two years I've been mostly wearing black jeans, but from time to time it's nice to bust out some light blue ones, especially since before I was loving them. I think they pair nicely with the blouse and the style I was going for.
What do you think about the location and this look?

If you're confused from the tittle and wondering "who's the child she's talking about?", please don't worry. I don't have a hidden child, I'm referring to myself as I still am a child at heart, who likes to play with bubbles and annoy everyone around me with them.
Following the styling theme from the first and second outfit from Florence, also this one has ruffly and puffy sleeves, cause you know, we have a theme going on. Sadly this is the last look from Florence, it was a short but sweet trip. Which was your favourite look?

Hi there!
How are you today? Glad to have you back for my second outfit from Florence! Today's look is a little bit more office-elegant-chic, though still comfortable to walk around and discover this gorgeous city.
For this one I added a pop of blue with my ruffled blouse, which you can admire in the third picture. I told you yesterday that ruffles are my current obsession and as you can see it wasn't a lie. When packing for Florence I didn't even realise there was a ruffle theme going on in my luggage.

Welcome back Dolls!
As promised, today I'm sharing my first look from Florence. Since the weather was pleasantly sunny, I decided to incorporate a pop of pink to brighten the outfit. There was a lot of walking and exploring to do, so I opted for a comfortable look, which still is chic.
You may have noticed that I have a slight obsession with ruffles at the moment, which means this blouse also has ruffled sleeves. Ruffles just inspire femininity and cuteness in my opinion thus the love for it. What would you wear for a day exploring a new city?
Have a pink-tastic day!

Hello my beautiful Dolls!
After a short-ish leave of absence I'm back with a travel diary type post from Florence. This weekend has been the orthodox easter and I was lucky enough to celebrate it in this gorgeous city. It was my first time exploring Florence, so of course I have to share it with you. I am quite smitten with the city, the picturesque architecture makes it perfect for pictures btw. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, hope you enjoy this post and be sure to return tomorrow for my first look from Florence.
Btw, though Internet was really bad, I had been posting on my Facebook page and Snapchat (carinavardie) during this trip, so make sure to follow me there.
Have a pink-tastic day!
Kisses.
Hey Dolls!
For this post I want to share with you my holyday diet. Trust me, it was delicious, maybe somewhat unhealthy, but definitely worthy. Hope this inspires you to try something new and I would love to see your Food Diaries.
Have a pink-tastic day!
Kisses.
How are you my sweet dolls?
I'm writing today's post from Italy, which is a great joy as always. Our first stop is in Piemonte, in a "comune" called Canale d'Alba. We had a wine tasting at Malvira, where the wine was truly lovely and the landscape breathtaking.
For my outfit I wore a burgundy pullover, which matched the autumnal vibes and the wine. Since I love bold lips, I went for a statement dark purple lipstick to finish the look. How's your week so far?
Have a pink-tastic day!
Kisses.
